Statement Of Faith

C.O.G.I.C

The Church of God in Christ doctrinal emphasis is the inspired, infallible authority of Scripture, trinitarian, conversion, repentance, salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ, regeneration, justification, sanctification and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Church teaches that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is given to all Christian believers who ask for it. Divine healing is practiced, not to the exclusion of medical supervision. Holiness of life and practice are emphasized. The ordinances of the Church, as act of obedience to Faith, are water baptism (immersion), the Lord's Supper (Holy Communion) and the

Ordinance of Humility (foot washing).

We Believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible written word of God.

We Believe that there is one God eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost.

We Believe in the blessed hope, which is the rapture of the church of God which is in Christ at his return.

We Believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin, is through repentance, faith in the precious blood of Jesus Christ and being baptized in water.

We Believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.

We Believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for the human body in answer to believing prayer.

We Believe that the Baptism of the Holy Ghost according to Acts 2:4 is given to believers who ask for it.

We Believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a holy and separated life in this present world.

Amen.
